Curtiss-Wright / Synergy Microsystems V452-B Single Board Computer – Single 50 MHz, 8MB Memory

The Curtiss-Wright/Synergy Microsystems V452-B is a single-slot VMEbus single-board computer built on Motorola 68040/68060 architecture for embedded control and data acquisition in industrial environments. It delivers a single 50 MHz processor paired with 8 MB of standard memory, expandable to 128 MB DRAM and 16 MB Flash, while consuming approximately 50% less power than comparable 68K boards. The V452-B integrates 10Base-T Ethernet connectivity and the EZ-bus mezzanine interface for high-bandwidth I/O expansion, supporting VME64 extensions across its backplane.
